Whoppers will be able to tell you more but I'm pretty sure it'll be based out of Columbia with shows at different locations if there is enough interest in it. Primarily ADBA but possibly with some fun stuff for the unregistered pups.

"OH...You should support the clubs already out there", One club doesnt even hold their shows in SC, and one has been sanctioned for 2-3 years and is just now "supposedly" having their first sanc. show. Basically, I have had more responses of people giving their opinions than people wanting to join.

Ha! Well we are in the bible belt and remember our pit bulls are the d3v1L ! Not to mention alot of the asshats around here are more into fighting. At least what I've seen.

Maybe it had a lot to do with the Tant dogs a while back. Just a stray thought but as far as I know, he was probably one of the only "breeders" of the true game-bred APBT. Most of the APBT's in the paper (great reliable source I know) aren't really APBT's but the new breed, American Bully. And many of those "breeders" really only seem to be in it for the money and not the dogs.

Whoppers / Wendi (adbapitts@hotmail.com). Like I explained to you on The Original Weight Pull Board, the Palmetto State APBT Club is and has been a very active ADBA American Pit Bull Terrier Club in South Carolina for many years now but do actually hold their ADBA sanctioned show's in Hickory, North Carolina due to the "lack of" a better (decent is more like it) facility available in their area (Bowling Green, York, Rock Hill). However just because they hold their show's in NC doesn't mean they aren't dedicated to fighting for the APBT'S preservation and against BSL / MSN in SC because they are. I know, because I fight along beside them on a daily basis. And as for your snide little remark about, "and one has been sanctioned for 2-3 years and is just now "supposedly" having their first sanc. show"... you're absolutely right about this being our first sanction show. Do you know what it takes to put on an ADBA sanctioned show? My next question, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? One of your responses to me on the weight pull board was, "Great. I would love to attend your show. This is the first I have seen or heard of a show or active club in SC" Re: http://members2.boardhost.com/2948wisec ... 77481.htmlOur Club has been listed on the ADBA'S web site for over 2 years now with current contact information always available. Again, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Our Club has hosted 6 fun show's in Ladson, South Carolina over the last 3 years and 3 of those show's were Judged by ADBA sanctioned Judges. I personally posted those shows on every MAIN APBT Message Board online, sent out flyers by US Mail, and passed out flyers at both the ADBA sanction show's in Hickory, NC.... So again, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Maybe the attitude of, or the simple ignorance in general of your post is the very reason people responded and told you to support the clubs already out there. Like I told you on the weight pull board, I look forward to seeing you at our show here in Ladson, SC and extend a personal invitation to you and anyone else interested to come out and attend the monthly club meetings, and become a member of our club. A little constructive criticism here, since you obvious live in the upstate of SC, instead of complaining online about where the PSAPBTC shows are held, try getting involved actively with the club and seeing if thereâ€™s something you can do personally to help bring the show's home to South Carolina.

Your sanc. show is not yet even posted on the APBT calendar, which is the reason I said "supposedly". I AM trying to get more shows in South Carolina, which is why this club is to be started. A gentleman at a weight pull asked if we would be interested in JOINING, we are not starting this club. I simply asked if anyone would be interested in joining. What I got was opinions. If you aren't interested then do not reply. All I want to know is if there are enough people for this man to start his club. If you or anyone else were offended by my comments then I will be a bigger person and appoligize. I do not see the harm in beginning another club in SC and everyone else acts like I am trying to make a move on someone's "turf". Could you explain what the problem would be?

Youâ€™re exactly right Whopper / Wendi. You asked a question on a public message board and you got answers from the public. The persons responding to your question have the right to voice their opinion whether or not you agree (like) or (dislike) disagree with it. After all, you asked for it on a public forum. You have no idea how many FLY-BY-NIGHT start up clubs I or other club members have seen come and go or the damage that they leave when theyâ€™re gone. Newbieâ€™s get bit by the weight pull or conformation bug and the first thing they say is â€œhey, I wanna start a club tooâ€

I stand firmly behind my post Marinepits and can assure you that no one is trashing out personal differences here on this forum, at least not me. Iâ€™m sure that this forum strives (or at least I hope it does) to present the American Pit Bull Terrier to the public in a positive light, which is also a goal of our club thus my legitimate concerns when I was made aware by another member of this forum of the uncalled for sarcasm by Whopper directed at our club. Since my last post I have been informed of who Whopper is and now completely understand their reason for posting. Had I of known before hand who they really were I would have not wasted the forums time or my own. I encourage those of you who share the passion and love for the American Pit Bull Terrier to join in and support your local ADBA sanctioned club.

All I can say is "What?" Again, this drama came from another forum and we really don't want a part of it.

Please, post up about your club. Let us know what you stand for and what you aim to achieve. I personally would also love to know more about weight pull.

Never make someone a priority in your life when that someone treats you like an option.
